Midnight at the Ball
$9.99
Sam Glaser’s first full-length album; finely crafted pop-jazz settings combine with lyrics describing a world with shrinking resources and a hope for a new world order. Recorded on eight-track ½” tape, Midnight at the Ball pushes the boundaries for a self-produced multitrack release and relies heavily on Sam’s early adoption of MIDI technology. Sam’s Thursday Night Band performed this material in nightclubs around Los Angeles including the Whisky, Roxy, Madame Wongs and Lingerie. Their once-a-month stand at At My Place in Santa Monica earned them the Thursday Night Band moniker. Backup vocals feature Greg Walker from Santana, Michael Lennon from Venice and Sam’s long time soprano ally Michael Ian Elias. Midnight’s opening track, I Had a Good Time became the theme for Warren Miller Sports Television, Comrades celebrated the fall of the Iron Curtain and Where Are You Now raised awareness of the war in Central America.
